The Baby and the Bathwater: Making a Case for Work Experience.

Green, Annette; Smith, Erica

Australian Journal of Career Development, v12 n2 p29-37 Win 2003

A survey of 1,451 Australian secondary students indicated that 18% participated in structured work placements, 54% in other paid work experience. Despite claims of the superiority of structured placements, other types of work experience also enhanced career awareness, improved self-esteem, and contributed to school-to-work transition.
